Girl In The Year Above signs to Transgressive and shares new single, "Wet Paint"

The signing follows the release of the band's singles "Mama, My Heart Is Achin'" and "Ode To The Glory Days" released earlier this year, as well as a cover of Massive Attack's "Teardrop" that was featured in Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man. "Wet Paint" arrives as their first release on the label.

Speaking about the song, which was written by vocalist Jennifer Ball and keyboardist Jeanie White, the band explain: “Through writing the lyrics of 'Wet Paint' together - Jen and Jeanie soon realised how painfully relatable this topic is, yet so rarely talked about. The song’s story starts lightly to draw the listener in until you gradually realise it is about consent.

"With a heavy topic it was important to us that the track still felt bright and powerful. We hope it mimics the likeness of anyone who can relate to the track - in the sense that you are bright and powerful no matter what. We would love for this track to bring joy and defiance, feel free to shout/dance/laugh/weep etc.”
